"To keep alive the memory of Colonel Aaron Burr as a student, a soldier, a
lawyer, a politician, a patron of the arts, an educator, a banker, and as a
husband and father" and "to secure for him the honor and respect which are due
him as one of the leading figures of his age."1972 Issue of The Chronicle

Feb 6, 2014:

He is my hero because of his advanced views on equality between and among
the races, between the sexes and his support of democracy and voting
rights. Burr also had a good service record, a great law career, both
before and after politics. We are possessed with the hindsight of
history, which allows us to favorably contrast his life's work with
contemporaries like Jefferson and Hamilton. Col. Burr looks quite good in
comparison.

Woodrow Wilson said of him 'So misunderstood, so maligned.' So it has
been through most of our history, until recent scholarship and writing
have started to shed proper light. It gives us impetus to continue the
work and goals of the Aaron Burr Association.

I like to think that Col Burr knew that there would be future people who
would work to vindicate his name and reputation.

Happy birthday, Aaron. Requiat in pacem.
